Did The Market Slow Down in November? Hoboken/Downtown Jersey City

     

The holiday season is typically a slower time for sales as many new buyers decide to hold off their searches until the New Year.  However, it can be the best tine to buy because there's less competition.

HOBOKEN-Prices surged in November as inventory decreased to levels not seen since August 2023.  1BR and 4BR units saw double digit price increases.

Pending sales dipped 26.67% in November to 88 units, again a function of a very low inventory. 

Total transactions increased 27.08%.

DOWNTOWN JERSEY CITY-Prices retreated a bit for November with 1BR and 2BR units dipping below $900/sq.ft.

Pending sales dipped just 4.55% but are still 15.38% ahead of this same month last year.

Total transactions dipped 10% but are still 50% ahead of November 2023.

15 Years of Real Estate Data! | October Real Estate Update

    

This month marks 15 years of tracking data in Hoboken and Downtown Jersey City.

I thought I would share some data on what the market looked like in October of 2009:

Absorption Rate

Hoboken: 35.03 weeks
Downtown Jersey City: 46.62 weeks

Pending Sales

Hoboken: 154
Downtown Jersey City: 103

Total Transactions

Hoboken: 83 units
Downtown Jersey City: 39 units

Days on the Market

Hoboken: 110 days
Downtown Jersey City: 95 days

Price Per Square Foot Hoboken

1BR $508.24/sq.ft.
2BR $468.04/sq.ft.
3BR $505.00/sq.ft.

Price Per Square Foot Downtown Jersey City

1BR $591.53/sq.ft.


Now onto October 2024...


HOBOKEN-Prices retreated a bit in October with 1 and 2BR condos down 4.48% and 5.93%, respectively

Pending sales increased 26.32% over last month and are 50% ahead of October 2023.

Total transactions dropped 34.29% from last month and 39.47% when compared to October 2023.

DOWNTOWN JERSEY CITY-1 and 2BR condos stayed above $900/sq.ft. for the second month in a row as first-time homebuyers continue to enter the market and the ultra-luxury high-rise properties continue to drive the upper end of the market.

Pending sales dipped 12% but are still ahead of October 2023 by 23.60%

Total transactions dropped to 22.45% but this is more a function of a lack of inventory than the market slowing down.

Hoboken/Downtown Jersey City Market Report | Going Strong into The Fall

   


HOBOKEN-Market strength continued in September with the average days on the market hitting an all-time low at 15 days, down 42.31% from last month.

Pending sales increased 2.15% to 95 units.

Pricing remained strong again this month with 4BR units leading the way at a robust $981.74/sq.ft.

All new construction properties being built in town are all ultra-luxury and that is the driving force for pricing of 3BR and 4BR units.

DOWNTOWN JERSEY CITY-The market in downtown Jersey City is still more neutral with the current inventory (absorption rate) at 20.07 weeks.

Pending sales were down 11.35% to 125 units.

Studio pricing came in at a strong $1016.56/sq.ft due to some high priced sales at some of the newer luxury buildings.

May Real Estate Update | Strong Results Continue

 


The pace of sales for Hoboken and downtown Jersey City has been increasing since January as both markets start to rebound. A decreasing absorption rate is an indicator of a strong market.

This is further evidenced by pending sales which has steadily increased since the beginning of the year.

Total sales increased 44.44% to 65 properties in Hoboken and increased 42% to 71 units in downtown Jersey City.

The market is still strong at the moment, although we're starting to see some softness on the upper end of the market.
